Double Chin Removal in Cheongdam, Gangnam — injection, tightening or awake liposuction.
Submental fat — the pad under the chin — blurs the jawline and adds years to a profile, and it is one of the highest-impact areas ARTNER Cheongdam treats. Three routes for double chin removal in Korea: dissolve a soft pad with the Face ARTNER injection (from ₩190,000, no downtime), slim-and-tighten with Face ART-TUNE (from ₩390,000), or remove a fuller pad with awake ART-FAT chin liposuction (₩1,190,000) through a tiny hidden incision under local anesthesia — about 30–45 minutes with a 3–5 day social return. Before any of them we work out how much is fat, how much is loose skin and how much is bone.
What are the three ways to remove a double chin at ARTNER Cheongdam?
The double chin is one of the highest-impact areas to treat at ARTNER Cheongdam — a defined jawline changes the whole profile. The right route depends on how much fat there is and whether the skin needs firming. Face ARTNER injection dissolves a soft under-chin pad over a few quick sessions with no downtime; Face ART-TUNE slims and tightens the jaw together; double-chin ART-FAT liposuction removes a fuller pad through a tiny hidden incision under local anesthesia in about 30–45 minutes, with a 3–5 day social return.

Dr. Pyeon matches the route to your chin.
Is it submental fat, loose skin, a receding chin — or the neck?
ARTNER Cheongdam reads the profile before choosing a route. Melt the wrong thing and the jawline does not change — four honest answers, before you book a flight to Korea.
A soft pad under the chin
Fat you can pinch between the chin and the neck, with reasonable skin. Face ARTNER injection for a modest pad (from ₩190,000); awake ART-FAT chin liposuction for a fuller one (₩1,190,000, 30–45 minutes, 3–5 day social return).
A pad with a softening jawline
Fat plus skin that will not retract on its own — after 40, or after weight loss. Face ART-TUNE adds Tune Liner tightening; after liposuction, Accent Prime aftercare firms the line.
A receding chin or short jaw
A profile that looks heavy because the chin sits back is not a fat problem — removing fat barely changes it. ARTNER Cheongdam says so and discusses a structural plan instead of selling injections.
Really the neck, not the chin
Fullness that continues below the jaw into the neck softens the jaw-to-neck angle. Treating only the chin leaves it — plan it with neck liposuction in Gangnam — from ₩190,000 as one profile.
A relaxed profile photo and one looking slightly down is enough for Dr. Pyeon's team in Cheongdam to tell you which of the four you are — within 24 hours. Jawline programs: Face slimming injection in Cheongdam.

Which treatment matches my goal?
The quickest way to narrow it down for the double chin.
Dissolve
A soft pad, no downtime — Face ARTNER injection.
Slim + firm
Fat and jaw skin together — Face ART-TUNE.
Remove for good
A fuller chin, ~30–45 min — ART-FAT.
Why is a jawline fat, skin and bone — and why does that decide the route?
A double chin is usually submental fat — a subcutaneous pad under the chin — but lower-face heaviness can also come from loose skin, a receding chin or bone structure. Before treating, we work out how much is fat, because dissolving or removing the wrong thing won't sharpen the jaw.
For a fat pad, all three routes apply. The Face ARTNER injection dissolves a soft pad with no downtime; Face ART-TUNE firms the jawline as it slims; Double-Chin ART-FAT removes a fuller pad in a quick, awake procedure through a tiny hidden incision. If the heaviness is skin or bone, we'll tell you honestly.
Why is the result half procedure, half aftercare at ARTNER Gangnam?
A clean result on the day is only part of the outcome — how the double chin settles over the following weeks decides how smooth and even it finishes. That's why ARTNER runs a 2:1 intensive aftercare system: dedicated recovery care rather than a procedure and a goodbye at the door.
Aftercare is delivered with medical devices, not just advice. ARTNER uses Accent Prime by ALMA (Israel) — a radiofrequency and ultrasound platform — to smooth the contour and support skin retraction as you heal. Dr. Pyeon is a clinical advisor to Accent Prime in Korea, so the aftercare is run by someone who helps train other clinics on the device.

What are the risks — and how does ARTNER lower them?
Every medical treatment carries risk, and a clinic that hides it isn't one to trust. Non-surgical routes(Injection, ART-TUNE) may cause temporary swelling, tenderness or bruising at the injection sites, and rarely small firm nodules; results are gradual. ART-FAT liposuction is surgery — expect swelling, bruising and temporary numbness, with less common risks including contour irregularity, fluid collection or infection.
ARTNER lowers these risks deliberately: an internal-medicine specialist screens you for cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine issues first; procedures are awake under local anesthesia, removing the risks of general anesthesia entirely; and the director plans and performs every case at ARTNER Cheongdam personally, never delegated. When a case isn't safe yet, we say so.
Are the treatments registered in Korea?
ARTNER's signatures — ARTNER Injection, ART-TUNE and ART-FAT — are registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (특허청). The injection is a cleaner formula by design: no steroids, no hyaluronidase, no PPC. You receive the originals only at ARTNER.

Why reading it right is the whole result — the director on the double chin
Before I treat a double chin at ARTNER Cheongdam I work out how much is fat, how much is loose skin, and how much is bone. Melt the wrong thing and the jaw does not change — reading it right is the whole result, and sometimes the honest answer is that a receding chin needs something other than fat removal.

How long to stay
Face ARTNER injection and Face ART-TUNE are same-day with no downtime. For double-chin ART-FAT liposuction plan a 3–5 day social return in Seoul: about 30–45 minutes under local anesthesia through a tiny hidden incision, a light chin band at night for a few days, stitches and Accent Prime aftercare around day 7 or on your next visit, then fly in 1–2 weeks. The jawline shows at 2–4 weeks and is final at about three months.

Double chin removal in Korea — questions answered.
It depends on the pad and the skin. A soft under-chin pad suits the Face ARTNER injection over a few quick sessions; a pad with a softening jawline suits Face ART-TUNE; a fuller pad suits awake ART-FAT chin liposuction in one 30–45 minute procedure. Dr. Pyeon at ARTNER Cheongdam separates fat, skin and bone before recommending anything.
Face ARTNER injection (6cc) ₩190,000 per session, Face Mini ₩49,000, Face ART-TUNE ₩390,000 per session, and awake double-chin ART-FAT liposuction ₩1,190,000. KRW, ex-VAT, identical to the Korean price list at ARTNER Cheongdam — no foreigner surcharge, and gas sedation (₩100,000) is optional.
Liposuction, in one procedure, when there is a real pad: it removes the fat cells permanently and defines the jaw-to-neck angle in a single 30–45 minute awake session. The injection suits a modest pad and patients who want zero downtime, built over a few sessions. ARTNER Cheongdam tells you honestly which your chin needs.
Chin liposuction uses one tiny incision hidden in the crease under the chin, a few millimetres long, which fades to invisibility over months. Injections leave no scar. Keep the area out of direct sun while it heals.
1–2 days for an injection or ART-TUNE visit. For awake chin liposuction, a 3–5 day social return — swelling and the chin band are the reason, not pain — with stitches around day 7 or on your next visit, then fly in 1–2 weeks. Keep two weeks between treatment and an important event.
Swelling peaks day 1–3 with a light chin band at night, social return at day 3–5, bruising fades over 1–2 weeks; the jawline shows at 2–4 weeks and is final at about three months. Sleep with your head slightly raised, avoid pressing the area, and keep alcohol and saunas away for the first week.
Yes, and often should be — the chin, jawline and neck read as one profile. ARTNER Cheongdam commonly combines double-chin liposuction with neck contouring, or the Face ARTNER injection with Tune Liner jawline tightening, in the same plan.
ARTNER Injection is non-surgical, no downtime, gradual — for mild, pinchable fat, built over a course. ART-FAT removes a larger amount in one awake procedure under local anesthesia for a lasting change. If the skin is loose, ART-TUNE adds tightening so you slim without a fold. ARTNER Cheongdam recommends honestly — often the smallest route that will work.
Yes. Treatments at ARTNER Cheongdam are often staged or combined — ART-FAT on the main volume, then ARTNER Injection or ART-TUNE on smaller neighbouring pockets after the recovery window, or adjacent areas done in one session. Plans are sequenced so recoveries do not overlap.
ARTNER's proprietary lipolytic, patent-registered in Korea and deliberately formulated with no steroids, no hyaluronidase and no PPC — ingredients in many generic fat-dissolving shots that can cause hardening or uncontrolled spread. The composition is shown at consultation.
ART-FAT uses tiny access points placed discreetly in natural creases that fade over months and are hidden once healed. Keep them out of direct sun and follow the aftercare; injections leave no scars.
Fat cells removed by ART-FAT or dissolved by the injection course do not return; the treated area is a lasting change while your weight stays stable. Remaining cells can enlarge with significant weight gain — fat does not move elsewhere — and skin changes with age.
Dr. Pyeon's team follows up remotely on WhatsApp in your language, reviews photos and guides you on what to do locally; fever, one-sided heat or increasing pain are reported immediately. Treatment records and an English operative report are provided for your home doctor on request.
Body contouring is safest when the whole patient is assessed, not just the target area. Dr. Pyeon screens cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine health, separates fat from skin, muscle and bone, and plans adjacent areas as one line — so the plan at ARTNER Cheongdam treats the actual cause and declines cases contouring cannot help.
